Spring Loaded: A Message from the Editor top of page | cover page

Welcome back to the pages of Pezhead Monthly. We are once again ready to rock and roll with the power of Pez.

Speaking of rock and roll, you may not know that the King of Rock n' Roll, Elvis Presley, now officially graces a Pez dispenser. But indeed he has, and we celebrate this wondrous occasion in this month's feature. Also in this issue is an interview with the Pezheads the Movie Pez Dispenser, which is an exclusive Pez dispenser available only with purchase of the Pezheads The Movie DVD. Congratulations and thanks to Chris and everyone at PTM for a great documentary about Pezheads and a fantastic dispenser too. Also in this issue is some Pez Poetry and another Pez Almost-Quote, and finally a note about the scary image that graces the cover of this month's issue.

I am also pleased to officially announce a call for submissions for the 2007 Pez Poetry Slam, happening exclusively on the pages of the December 2007 Pezhead Monthly. Submissions are due by Friday, November 30. Details can be found here. Submit your Pez poems today!

Take care and see you next month!

Elvis Pez Has (Officially) Entered The Building top of page | cover page


A few months ago, a very magical event happened in the world of Pez. Now I'll grant you, a convincing argument can be made that anytime a new dispenser is released, it is a very magical event in the world of Pez. But this one was simply magicaler than all the rest. I am speaking of course about the release of the Elvis Presley Collector's Tin, featuring 3 different Elvis Pez dispensers, one from the 50s, one from the 60s, and one from the 70s. This marked a historic moment in the world of Pez (and Elvis) fans worldwide. I am sure you saw the story on the evening news, or heard the primetime speech from the President, marking the grand occasion. What's that, you didn't? Well, have no fear. Pezhead Monthly is giving you a firsthand look at this awesome collector's set.

Astute readers of Pezhead Monthly may recall that this is not the first time that Elvis Pez has graced the pages of this publication. In November 2001, we imagined what life would have been like had the real Elvis Presley been a Pez dispenser. Then in August 2002, after scoring a fantasy Pez dispenser at Pezamania 12, I presented an ode to my quest in the form of the poem "Finding Elvis." And of course there is the now legendary Elvis Pez being chased by Cowboy Pez.

But this special collector's set is still a very huge deal. Why? Because this is the first time that Pez has made an official dispenser of the King of Rock and Roll. And three versions of the Elvis Pez dispenser on top of that? Words cannot express the joy this has brought me.

To celebrate this grand event, I am proud to present some songs from three dispensers who clearly have a hunka hunka burning love for Pez.


Heartbreak Pez Shelf
(To the tune of "Heartbreak Hotel")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications

Well since that lady bought me,
I've been all by myself
She left me all alone here on
The Heartbreak Pez shelf

She won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.

Not a single Pez beside me,
Not a Snoopy or a Shrek
It's just me on this dusty shelf,
And baby, I'm a wreck

She won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.

Yeah, the lamp don't ever turn on,
The door is always closed
She doesn't show me to her friends,
Oh man, that hurts the most

She won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.

So if you're on a store rack,
Take good care of yourself
You might end up like me here on
A Heartbreak Pez shelf

She won't even load me, baby
She won't even load me
She won't even load me
That ain't right.

 

 

50s Elvis Pez is All
Shook Up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its Now or Never for
60s Elvis Pez!

 


I Can't Help Dispensing Pez For You

(To the tune of "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You")
Coopyright 2007 JoePez Publications

Wise men say: one Pez at a time
But I can't help dispensing Pez for you
It's cliché, maybe it's a crime,
But I can't help dispensing Pez for you.

Like a candy brick makes a special treat,
Darling, have a flick
Sometimes life is too sweet
Take my Pez, take the whole roll too
For I can't help dispensing Pez for you.

Like a candy brick makes a special treat,
Darling, have a flick
Sometimes life is too sweet
Take my Pez, take the whole roll too
For I can't help dispensing Pez for you.



Viva Pez Oh Yes
(To the tune of "Viva Las Vegas")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications

Bright colored stems gonna make me want
Gonna make me wanna collect
Got a big long list of dispensers to get,
So I hope there's a lot to select

There's a drug store open all around the clock,
I'm gonna put on my shoes and go for a walk
And when I find some Pez, man it's going to rock
Viva Pez Oh Yes, Viva Pez Oh Yes

How I wish that there were more
Than just twelve candies in a roll
Cause even if there were fifty more
It wouldn't satisfy my soul

Oh, there's bagged Pez and loose Pez and Pez on card
Find 'em ev'rywhere, boy, it's not that hard,
And when you get a new one, please give my regards
Viva Pez Oh Yes, Viva Pez Oh Yes

Viva Pez Oh Yes with your wicked dispensin'
And your many conventions,
All those vintage Pez on display
Viva Pez Oh Yes, fillin' shelves with your treasure,
Givin' such endless pleasure
If you pick up one
Then you're gonna have a mighty fine day

I'm gonna keep hittin' stores,
I'm gonna keep gettin' more
Till I run out of room at my place
If I have to move, well
I'll always remember to find them lots of space

I've got 'em lined up, in row after row,
Much more than I had, just a year ago,
And will I ever stop, well the answer is no
Viva Pez Oh Yes, Viva Pez Oh Yes
Viva, Viva Pez Oh Yes!

 


Bein' Mint On Card

(To the tune of "Suspicious Minds")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications

I'm caught on a card,
My life is hard
Because I want to be free baby.

Why can't you tear
This plastic so unfair
And let me stand in your display?

I can't go on forever
Bein' mint on card
And I can't be filled with Pez
Bein' mint on card

So if my value falls,
Would you be so appalled
And have regrets about my freedom?

Here we go again,
Looks like I just can't win.
You can't hear the screams are real, I'm crying

I can't go on forever
Bein' mint on card
And I can't push the Pez out
Bein' mint on card

Oh, let the blister pack
Be taken off of its back
Let's don't cause a world of stress
When honey, you know
I'll dispense Pez for you
Mmm, yeah yeah

I'm caught on a card,
My life is hard
Because I want to be free baby.

Why can't you tear
This plastic so unfair
And let me stand in your display?

I'm caught on a card,
My life is hard

On the Pez Shelf

(To the tune of "In the Ghetto")
Copyright 2007 JoePez Publications

A collector smiles
In a nice suburban neighborhood
Another Pez dispenser is stood
On the Pez shelf
Yes it's been a while
And if there's one thing to be enjoyed
It's another brand new piece of joy
On the Pez shelf

People, don't you understand
Your Pez needs a place to stand
A box in a closet simply will not do.
Put it out on display,
Don't you wait another day
Just think about the pain you'd feel
If that Pez was you.

As the time moves on
And his Pez gets dusty and makes him sneeze,
With a massive gust of man-made breeze
On the Pez shelf
And they tumble down
They're close together one and all,
And like dominoes, they each do fall
Off the Pez shelf

Then one night in the pitch black dark
He steps on one poor Pez
He flips the light, he says "Oh crap"
But it's too late, its neck is snapped

A collector cries
And in tears he heads out for the store,
Cause he knows he needs to put one more
On the Pez shelf
And he finds a prize
In a nice suburban neighborhood
Another Pez dispenser is stood
On the Pez shelf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

70s Elvis Pez thanks you,
